Outlining High-Resolution Urban Drainage Systems for Stormwater Management in the Neponset River Watershed
The natural environment and manmade infrastructure must be considered when characterizing hydrology and water quality in urban watersheds. This requirement is critical in stormwater management, which considers water flowing above ground and below ground through stormwater networks. The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), with support from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), is expanding its...
Regional Regression Equations for Estimating Selected Low-flow Statistics at Ungaged Stream Sites in Massachusetts
The U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the Massachusetts Department of Recreation and Conservation, Office of Water Resources, began a study in 2019 to update the regional regression equations for estimating selected low-flow statistics at ungaged sites in Massachusetts.
Development of Regional Regression Equations to Estimate the Magnitude of Peak Flows for Selected Annual-Exceedance Probabilities in Maine
The flood-frequency characteristics for streamgages and regression equations for estimating flood magnitudes have been published.
Development of Regional Regression Equations in Connecticut
Knowledge of the magnitude and frequency of floods is needed for the effective and safe design of bridges, culverts, and other structures. This information is also important for flood-plain planning and management. Periodic examination of flood-frequency characteristics is essential to ensure the best estimates of flood magnitudes for a given annual exceedance probabilities (AEP).
